Community and Charity Sector Work Skills

Do you work in the charity or community sector and want to expand your skills to help you better address the challenges faced by our society? Or you want to explore how you can move into these areas of work? 

We are running short courses (3 hours each) in April 2021 that will help move forward your career. Our UEL team has decades of experience working in the charity and community sectors in the UK, Brazil, Ethiopia, India and Lebanon and we know that these skills are in high demand.

Each course costs £50. You can register for any/some/all of the 5 units.


"Thanks for the course, I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and learnt more about problem analysis. The problem tree (root causes, core problem and result) of course, has informed my understanding of clearly identifying grassroot needs tailored to fundamental objectives and the ability to answer why(s). I am super excited I joined in today, very useful. I look forward to attending more courses."
